Budapest Annual Beer, Wine And Arts Festivals In 2018

Family Day Out - Social Gathering - Evening Entertainment

This web page has been created primarily for those thinking of buying and renting out a property in Budapest whereby they first need to visit some of its main festivals in order to then
highlight them to their future potential tenants in the hope of creating a better business and/or better income.

One hidden gem about Hungary is the fact it hosts many Wine, Beer, Cultural, Music and Arts & Crafts festivals, among other festivals, throughout the year. Festivals that many people do
not know about until they either visit Hungary or meet a Hungarian; which is probably how each festival gets its word-of-mouth reputation.

As Romanians, Austrians, Germans, Polish and other surrounding nations already know of these festivals, through their history with one another, do not assume everyone at these festivals
will be Hungarian and British only. Also do not assume the beer festivals are for adults only. Many festivals in general are family orientated too. You can read more about Hungarian
festivals on the

Sziget Festival (Island Music Festival)

Sziget Festival, similar to the Glastonbury festival, is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe. It is held, between 8th and 15th August 2018
this year, on Obudai-Sziget (Old Buda Island), Budapest, Hungary. A 7 Day pass costs €325 (£288.79).

This festival has beer, food, toilet, campsite and campervan areas.

Each year there are more than 1,000 performances including resident DJs, up-and-coming artists and famous artists. In 2016 496,000 visitors attended from 95
countries. The organisers are the same people who went on to create
Balaton Sound (near Lake Balaton), which is an electronic music
festival - Held between 4th and 8th July 2018.

The main annual wine festival of Budapest is held on the terraces of Buda Castle each year whereby this year (2018) it starts on Thursday 6th September and ends on Sunday 9th September.
It acts as a showcase for local and international wine makers who sell their various wines to wine connoisseurs as well as to the general public of course. Even if you do not like wine,
there are plenty of Arts & Crafts and Hungarian Food stalls to enjoy as well as the Live Music.

The Budapest Wine Festival is family festival as much as it is a young person's festival

Wine festivals in Hungary, for local people, are classed as family, cultural and social events. A place to meet up with "Long Lost" Friends and Family Members as well as find new
friends. Hence the attendance of young, middle-aged and old people, friends, family members, wine connoisseurs and tourists.

NOTE - Wine festivals are NOT meant as and NOT promoted as "Drinker's Paradise" simply because Hungarians like to enjoy their food and drink without the need for drunken
behaviour and "Lager Louts". Yes, you can enjoy yourself and party, and even get drunk, but Hungarians do not want to see their quiet community life awoken by
"A Drunken Englishman Abroad".

NOTE WELL - If you need an ambulance, do NOT expect the ambulance and hospital staff to be sympathy. They hate drunkards and resource wasters and therefore will not hesitate to pump your stomach.

The fish festival, which is normally held in Vajdahunyad Castle and/or in an open area around Heroes Tér, is being held between 2nd and 4th March 2019. Vajdahunyad Castle is home to the
Hungarian Agricultural Museum and host to other events throughout the year. So a
tourist attraction in its own right.

The Budapest fish festival is an annual event that is growing each year

The fish festival itself is an international showcase of fish where fried, boiled and steamed fish can be sampled and bought. As with many Hungarian festivals, there are also Arts & Crafts, Wine/Beer and Hungarian Food stalls to enjoy as well as the Music.
